Just chopped the ETHOS Pineapple Runtz 🍍 Autoflower, day 80.
They were growing in 3gal coco/perlite mix, under my new AC inifity 280 LED. Feeding included, Atomic Root Powder, Grow Dots, Recharge, DaKine bloom boost, some Cha Ching and a finish with Winter Frost.
Smells are a pine/fruit smell, I plucked all the big fan leafs off and hung them upside down. They are in the same 4x2 tent to dry, Temps 69 with 59% humidity.
I have not weighed yet due to it being wet still. I'm going to guess 12 ounces. Let's see how it plays out.
DaKine 420 was something I tried on a whim a year or so ago, once I realized how well they mixed with little to no excess it was a must.
I use dehydrated COCO , so when I rehydrate I mix Atomic Root powder in my CoCo to Super charge it!
Overall the grow was easy and went really smooth, never really had to do too much. It drank well. The AC infinity bottom feed trays didn't seem to work as well. I hand watered through its whole grow.
I like to defoilate, If I were to pick majority of the fan leaves off of these plants being Auto's, will they react or stress too much? I like to defoil near the end of flower to really push all the focus to the budsites. Happy Growing!
Defoliation is a greatly misunderstood technique. Many try it, screw up horribly, and then write it off. At the end of the day it's like any other training, we're playing with stress reactions of the plant to attempt to influence growth. Don't be afraid to experiment, that's how we learn.
Yo, the grow is looking nice. Question, is this your first run with the Grow Dots? If not, how do you like the harvest with grow dots? looking to get some myself but dont know how they compare to regular liquid nutes.
@HookedByStryker, hey thanks fam. I've used grow dots in the past, this is my first time with autoflowers and dots. They do well, I always add some recharge and bloom boosters from Dakine or Phive 8 New millennium. Dense big buds , great trichome production. It's just a great base for me to add
